JANUARY I started 2017 with determination. I was four and a half months pregnant and had been absolutely sick as a dog since day one. Reading had taken a serious back seat – and no doubt would be right out of the car once Miniature Meakin made their appearance in May. I started off with […]

Author You’ve Read The Most Books Of: Elizabeth Chadwick And it’s down to a combination of me absolutely loving every book she’s ever written and her having a prodigious output – she takes up an entire shelf on my bookcase. Best Sequel Ever: I preferred Catching Fire to both The Hunger Games and Mockingjay; I’m really excited to […]

“It was no accident. A single point of red winked in the distance. It was joined by a second and a third, then the road ahead was a string of red beads. Almost too late, the car slammed to a stop. Gally, who had been lost in thought, looked across at the man she had […]
